I believe the reason ebay doesn't allow cpap machines is the issue of having a prescription. I doubt you would get in trouble selling it in a forum like this, but I'm not a lawyer. To be safe you're better off selling on http://cpapauction.com/ as DreamStalker suggested. Cpapauction.com verifies all bidders have a prescription on file with them so you don't have to worry about it. Plus they (cpapauction.com & cpap.com) do a great job hosting this forum.

Den: Regardless of where it's sold and who sells it, it's STILL a medical device in the eyes of the FDA as well as any attorney that may be interested in where his client purchased it, should an undesired event occur.

Someone selling their used CPAP in a garage sale is simply asking for trouble and not a very smart individual.

Women are Angels. And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly.....on a broomstick. We are flexible like that. My computer says I need to upgrade my brain to be compatible with its new software.

THESE ARE MEDICAL DEVICES PEOPLE!

And, if some needy people can get some use out of them, more power to 'em.
They're obviously not doing anybody any good sitting where they are in all the closets and garages around the country because of the failures of the "Medical Professionals" to help the intended users......the ones who either gave up on their therapy or died because SOMEBODY gave up on THEM.

I'm a Type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump which delivers a necessary but potentially deadly hormone into my body everyday. Without education and medical supervision, one could die from its misuse.

I treated myself for almost a year before I got insurance and had a sleep study! I bought a used Resmed S7 Lightweight off the black market for $200 and adjusted the pressure according to how I felt the next day. I don’t recommend this but it worked for me! My sleep Doc blew me some shit for this but I explained to him that desperate people do desperate things! BTW my auto is at 12 90% of the time and I had my S7 set at 11.3 LOL!!!!

Somebody should warn Craigs List then. Besides, xpap machines are medical devices, so what? That's a moot point. Every heard of common sense? Or do you want the FDA or the government to regulate common sense too so we all stop thinking and let someone else do it for us?
